Measuring and Monitoring Quantitative Sustainability Impacts at a Farm Level— to drive both innovation and transparent communication

The SAI sustainability platform is the only global food industry initiative for sustainable agriculture. It seeks to involve

all stakeholders in the food system willing to play an active role in the development, recognition and implementation of sustainable practices for mainstream agriculture. The SAI Platform recently developed a resource guide of sustainable principles, best practices, and 100 tools gathered worldwide which is intended to provide a ‘blueprint’ for stakeholders: farmers (groups), traders, retailers, food & drink companies, farm management systems, and ICT-tool developers. This workshop explains how the tools are being implemented within the industry.

In it’s seventh year, the Student Case Competition is a capstone event for IFAMA, offering students a rare venue to demonstrate their analytical and problem solving skills before a panel of senior management judges. It also gives universities an opportunity to showcase the next generation of business leaders.

The competition began on Saturday, June 9th. Seventeen teams were given a “real world” case in which they had five hours to analyze the problem, formulate a solution and develop a presen-tation. Each team submitted their presentations on Saturday but delivered the oral presentations to the judges in a Preliminary Round which occurred on Sunday, June 10th.

Three teams were selected to advance to the final phase of compe-tition which occurs on Tuesday, June 12, 2012, 2:00-3:30PM. The advancing teams are given a second opportunity to make their presentations to a different set of judges and attending Sympo-sium participants. The winners will be announced during the Welcome Reception.
